But why is faith the means of justification? Simply because it is the action of union with Jesus Christ. Faith is our coming to Him, our trusting Him, our resting in Him. The moment we are united to Him, we are immediately endowed with all that He has secured for us. We are immediately justified before we have done a single good deed, because we are His and He is God's. Just as a very poor woman is a very poor woman until the very moment that she marries a wealthy man. But at the moment that she becomes his wife, she becomes a wealthy woman. It is by means of her acceptance that she becomes a wealthy woman, but her acceptance does not make her a wealthy woman; it is her husband's wealth that makes her so. So faith does not justify; Christ justifies. But faith is the act of union with Christ.

This is pretty heavy bread, but I like it that way. For a better raise, try
adding 1/3 cup of gluten, and you may need a bit more water, then.
Use Whole Wheat mode. Timer ok.
Note: Whole wheat varies greatly in how much water it absorbs. The amounts
of water shown are the ones that work for me. Check on the dough after the
first few minutes of kneading. If it is too thin, add flour, 1 T at the
time. If the dough is too dry and does not form a smooth ball, add water, 1
T at the time. Since bread machines can handle relatively moist do, it is
better to err on the moist side (which will result in heavier bread, if it
is much too much).
